Low Altitude Navigation and Targeting Infrared for Night, or LANTIRN, is a combined navigation and
targeting pod system for use on the
USAF's premier fighter aircraft — the
F-15E Strike Eagle and
F-16 Fighting Falcon (Block 40/42 C & D models). LANTIRN significantly increases the combat effectiveness of these aircraft, allowing them to fly at low altitudes, at night and under-the-weather to attack ground targets with a variety of
precision-guided weapons.
